x10.. and really, the casting in general was fantastic. Is Abrams staying on board for the new one?

Abrams will be directing yes. Crazy that he is following up Star Trek with the new Star Wars. You are right about the casting last time around being fantastic and they nailed it once again by casting Cumberbatch as Khan.

Yea he's been on a roll the last few years, definitely cool that he's getting a chance to re-establish both franchises. He's set the bar high with Trek.

I dont care all tat much, because I wasn't a trek fan and Im a moderate Star Wars fan at best, however, it would be really tacky if he tried to do some wink wink connections between the two movie universes. I mean, I love him, but I heard Simon Pegg might be in the new star wars as well which could just be because Pegg is the man or it may be a sign of things to come.

I'm not particularly a fan of either, but any sort of connections between the two would just be weird and unnecessary. I doubt it would actually be implemented however, Abrams doesn't strike me as a personality director like Tarantino.

I guess I understand why people didn't like Looper but I am going to get on my high horse and say you bastards just didn't get it. So ******* unique, I really felt it was one of the greatest cinematic achievements to date. The raw energy and power in every performance, every camera movement, every moment just really resonated with me.
